Happy Earth Month! Let’s talk about food waste. Did you know every year, each American throws out about 1,200 pounds of organic garbage that could be composted? There are other ways to decrease this amount (other than simply composting). One way is to use your food scraps to make another recipe! Check out this Earth friendly Broccoli Stem Stir Fry recipe thanks to Christine Waltermyer and The Natural Kitchen Cooking School. All ingredients can be found at your local Basil Bandwagon Natural Market.
2cupscarrotssliced into rounds or "lozenges" (I refer to this as the ribbon cut in my video)
2cupspeeled broccoli stemssliced
½cupscallionssliced
¼cupbroth
2tablespoonscoconut aminos
2teaspoonslemon juice
1tablespoonmaple syrup
Sea salt to taste
Instructions
Heat a large skillet over medium high heat. Add the broth and heat it briefly.
Add the carrots and a few drops of the coconut aminos. Cook and stir for a minute or two. Add the broccoli stems. Cook and stir for another minute or two.
Add the remaining coconut aminos, scallions, maple syrup, and lemon juice. Cook and stir for a minute. Cover and cook for a few more minutes. Continue cooking to your desired tenderness. Depending how long you cook this, you may need to add a splash of water or more coconut aminos to prevent the vegetables from sticking to the pan. If needed, adjust seasoning to taste by adding a little more seasoning.
Plate and serve warm. Enjoy!
